Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight	LucasArts	1997	[84]*Aunque apuntaba a ser mejor que el primer Dark Forces, con armamento variado, sable y poderes de la fuerza, y un control 3D completo, pierde todas sus virtudes por un diseño de niveles mediocre y unos enemigos predecibles y aburridísimos, ya por no hablar de los cortos y las dotes de interpretación de los actores. Y para rematar da fallos constantemente, tanto gráficos como de juego. Una pena, porque el multijugador deja claro lo entretenido que puede ser el juego con oponentes dignos. 4 de 10 [English WIP] While it aimed to be better than the first Dark Forces, with varied weaponry, lightsaber, force powers, and full 3D control, it loses all its virtues because of mediocre levels, predictable foes and boring design. Not to mention the shorts and the acting skills of the actors. And to top it gives failures constantly, both graphics and game. A pity, because the multiplayer makes it clear how entertaining the game can be with worthy opponents. 4 out of 10*2009-09-16 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng)
Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith	LucasArts	1998	Una expansión que, con la misma jugabilidad del Dark Forces II, ofrece una nueva historia que jugar. Su virtud frente a este es que te mete su diseño de niveles está algo más trabajado, y los enemigos mejor posicionados para sorprendente (su IA, igual que la de tus aliados, sigue dando asco) No es un gran juego, pero si que algo mejor que el anterior, siendo de esta forma mínimante jugable. El multijugador sigue siendo igual de bueno. 5 de 10 Por alguna razón me recuerda al Opposing Forces del Half-Life. De igual forma que el JK:DFII, recomiendo buscar por Internet como solucionar los problemas de gráficos por compatibilidad, te ahorrarás mucho tiempo.***2009-09-16 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng, fre, ger, ita, spa)

Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast	LucasArts (Raven Software)	2002	The game has an extra stage for the demo, that is kind of well made and replayable (outstanding in demo standards)*Este es uno de esos juegos que tratas de evaluar casi negativamente para intentar compensar el subidón de nostalgia. Sin embargo, en este caso redescubrí que convertía este juego en GENIAL. Un diseño de niveles que prima la rejugabilidad de sus pantallas, con diversas maneras de solventar muchas zonas y combates, y una gran variedad de entornos y de cambios de horizontalidad-verticalidad. Un sistema triple de armamento (sable-armas-fuerza) muy equilibrado, obligándote a alternar entre ellos y no haciendo menos peligrosa a una patrulla armada que a un par de sith despistados. Enfrentamientos de sable que pueden acabar rápido o alargarse según tu habilidad (especialmente notable en el enfrentamiento final, que puede hacerse larguísimo o solventarse con un sólo mandoblazo) Porque los sables CORTAN, no se sobrevive a mucho más de 1 o 2 golpes. Y el sistema de 3 tipos de combate (poderoso-equilibrado-rápido) es sencillo pero versátil. Una historia entretenida, y un protagonista sin parangón (hasta su grito de muerte mola) Y como copete, un multijugador impecable, con situaciones memorables como el arrastrar contigo a alguien al vacío con el estrangulamiento o que todo un equipo se te lance encima cuando llevas la bandera y descarguen una tormenta perfecta. 9 de 102009-09-16 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng, fre, ger, ita, spa)*In the tradition of the multi-award-winning Star Wars Jedi Knight : Dark Forces II, rebel agent Kyle Katarn returns in exhilarating first-person action.

Based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and set in 'The 4th Age'. The developers have endeavored to portray Tolkien world as accurately as possible even to the point of implementing permanent death. However NPC and monster will almost never kill a player and player killers will suffer great consequences. Choice of race determines where a player starts in the game. Though not to full scale, the game world is huge and has countless dangers in between settlements. Races will be likely remain separated except for certain communities between them and rare fellowships that travel great distances, like the books. Vivendi Universal Games and Turbin were developing Middle Earth Online for Sierra On-Line. Vivendi left the project. Sierra On-Line formed their Yosemite Entertainment division and transfered all their experienced artists to it. Sierra then had Yosemite Entertainment fire all its employees. Codemasters hired nearly all of Yosemite Entertainment's former employees. Turbin made a deal with Midway and Codemasters to publish this game. And finally, the name was changed. [Zerothis]

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim	Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios)	2011	Special Edition does little else than overhaul the graphics a little bit and bundle all the DLC, biggest change is moving from 32 bit to 64 bit but this does not change the game. Mod compatibility between the two versions is a bit vague.*Otro juegazo de rol por parte de Bethesda, con un mapa para explorar más inmenso que nunca. Sin embargo, el juego si que peca de elementos que lo alejan demasiado del rol, como un argumento demasiado lineal (a pesar de las ramificaciones, el final es idéntico), los personajes invencibles (algo insufrible y que desgraciadamente comparte con el Fallout 3) y sobre todo un sistema de leveo carente de especialización real (sólo es cuestión de estar tiempo para tener al mago-guerrero-asesino perfecto). Brilla por una comunidad mod increíble, y con una plataforma como Steam Workshop que le sienta como anillo al dedo. 8 de 10[b]EPIC FANTASY REBORN[/b] The next chapter in the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls saga arrives from the makers of the 2006 and 2008 Games of the Year, Bethesda Game Studios.
